9 years, well done! And he fell asleep! with all the droplets falling! Kitty - with the day thats in it...you deserve an oscar!Time does fly though, I'm five years a librarian, and only getting used to the idea!

I will be waiting to read the story when it comes out too!Speaking of stories, thanks for your kind words on my blog today. I felt bad that I just didn't love the book (it was cute but could have included soooo much more!) Thanks for appreciating my honesty, it means a lot. I just have to go with my gut.Hugs and kisses to you and Charlie!

Jennifer! You're so awesome! Hey, I've been wanting to visit you and tell you about our new kitten! He loves to sleep in my hair. He kneads and kneads it (super automatic back-comber here!) until my hair is this super puff ball. Ugh. And on one side to boot! I look funny. And my hair frizzes easily! AAAA! ;0)

I remember when I first got out of college I had 16 interviews for teaching positions. On the 17th interview I had a I don't give a flip if you hire me attitude and I got my first job. I ended up renting a house, quite by accident down the street from my first principal (head master). He and his wife became wonderful friends of ours. :)

That is a lot of years in one job. But seriously, I am intrigued- you mean people don't wear formal clothes for job interviews any more? How ridiculous can you get- it is a job after all, not a Friday night drink.

Congrats on lasting so long in your current job. LOL. I almost got up and walked out half-way through mine (ten years ago last December). Almost told them I didn't have what they wanted, so lets stop wasting everyone's time. Glad I didn't!

Must have been a pretty laidback interview if the interviewer fell asleep lol. Oh the days when we all wore posh suits to interviews. I still think they looked great. yes do write about it .. Hugs GJ xx

We laughed so much about your manager falling asleep during your interview - bet it made you feel real good!! It sounds like something in a sit com - maybe you should write a mini play for TV and Charlie could be in it as the leading man. Reminds me when I was a funeral director and went for an interview in my work suit and one of the reasons I was offered the new job (non funeral) was because I looked smart!!

ah, interview "horror" stories - gotta love them! (until it's your turn to interview). My husband has some great interview stories for when he was interviewing for a job as a police officer (he never did get the job - interviewed 3 times!)

That is such a funny story, I would have wondered if he had a heart attack and would be praying they had an AED so I would not have to give mouth-to-mouth!I will celebrate my 20th anniversary, at my job, this June.

Welcome to my blog!

For my 40th birthday in 2009, I went to a Spanish Tapas bar/club in Tottenham Ct Rd. A stranger mistook me for being 18. Admittedly the place was rather badly lit and dark. Admittedly I was rather chuffed.
